african flower potholder

I made this potholder not too long ago, I'm not sure how I've managed to not make one of these before. This pattern can be found at Alice's blog. It uses the fun african flower pattern, which you can find in the comments here and Alice's mandala pattern, which I love!
I went with purples and cream for this potholder, I really love how it turned out. It's hanging up with the rest of my potholders in my kitchen. (someday I will get a photo of them all together!)

Isn't this beautiful?!?!? With the colors, it reminds me of a Delft plate. I saw this last night and immediately grabbed some yarn and decided to give it a whirl as I sat in bed getting ready to shut it down for the day. I was too tired, but will continue today. Inspirational work! I absolutely LOVE the edging you selected to add! I've been silently visiting your blog for awhile, and have finally decided to join the fun with a blog of my own...makes it easier to comment too! =) Have a great day!
